"All we've ever been is bitches, working for guineas, working for niggers, any asshole with a buck! The whole lot spent in the proper manner, of course, wine and women as quick as possible, and remain a slave forever!"

The Bank Heist

"...and you. Nothing personal, but don't fuck with my family, or I will fuck with yours."

―Gerry threatens Niko

When Niko very first meets Gerry, he is heavily inebriated, making him very capricious. He belittles his brothers and Michael Keane, a friend of the family. Immediately after, he warns Niko to never hurt his family, or he will hurt Niko's.

Last Mission

Then, he gives Niko his final mission; Diamonds are a Girl's Best Friend. This mission has Niko Bellic and Packie McReary trade Gracie for the Diamonds held by Luis Lopez and Anthony Prince. At the exchange, Gracie is successfully returned; unfortunately, Ray Bulgarin and his men interrupt the deal. Luis, Tony and Gracie escape the scene and the guy who chased him. Unfortunately, one of his men stole the Diamonds; when Niko and Packie cornered him after taking out the others, he threw the Diamonds in a truck; Packie and Niko eliminated him and the remainders, thus closing Gerald McReary's role in the story. Gerald remained in prison, bidding a final farewell to Niko stating he will be in prison for a long time. He tells Niko to watch over his family.

Gerald is the first character in the whole Grand Theft Auto series to use the word "niggers" as a derogatory term. It is used numerous times in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, and Grand Theft Auto V. However, but is only used as slang between friends.

Similarly to Ray Boccino, Gerald towers over Niko when standing next to him as seen in the picture above. In his police mugshot, he is shown to be exactly 6 feet tall, however this is inaccurate as every character is shown to have the same height in mugshots. It is possible that Gerry and Ray are anywhere from 6'4-6'7.

It is possible he escaped or was killed. But this is unlikely since he would have been on lockdown in the main building with guards on heavy security. Plus he had no real connection and influence in the TLAD.

If brought up on charges of Racketeering he may face up to 20 years in prison maximum which would mean he would get out by the age of 55. But if he faces both Racketeering and armed robbery he faces a maximum of 50 years in prison. Thus he would get out at the age of 85 but by then he might already have passed away. But it is unknown if he would still be eligible for parole.
